U.S. Patent Pat. No. Kind Code Issue Date Patentee 7,261,452 B2 Aug. 28,2007 Charles M. Coushaine, Thomas Tessnow

FIELD OF INVENTION

This disclosure relates to a motor-vehicle headlight and moreparticularly to such headlights or spotlight employing more than onelighting sources; one using a main lighting device lamp in the centerand another with more than one Light Emitting Diodes (hereafter, LED ORLED's). Still more as it relates to a headlight or as spotlight usingmultiple LED's.

BACKGROUND

Present day headlights offer many features to include ascetic design,safety and brighter illumination. The round and square headlighttechnology of vintage vehicles has not advanced to include these presentday technologies. Vintage vehicle show car owners desire a more moderntechnology and retro headlight design to fit their vehicles. The objectof this invention is to overcome drawbacks of Original EquipmentManufactured (hereafter, OEM) headlights by providing a brighter andmore focused beam that also provides better side light and furtherdistant illumination. in addition to an improved main lighting devicelamp, another accentuating feature that provides added illumination andsafety is the addition of daylight Running Lights (hereafter DRL). TheDLR Feature employed is an ascetically pleasing design in the form of aring characteristic, of a halo provided by introducing a Printed CircuitBoard (hereafter, PCB) containing Surface mounted Device hereafter SMD)led's symmetrically spaced on a ring with LED's light illuminationfacing forward and outward from the headlight. This DLR is dualfeatured; first featured as additional lighting for driving whenselected and the second feature as accent lighting when participating ata car show with the user ability to remotely choose an LED color shadethat matches or contrast the color of their vehicle.

SUMMARY

An object of the invention is to overcome some of the drawbacks relatingto the compromise designs of prior art devices as described above.
